Bettas are constantly changing... they get paler, darker, shinier, duller... their eyes turn black, their eyes get pale... they get breeding bars, they get horizontal stripes... they flare and their colors get intense... these fish are like mood rings!

haha thats what tamaki did.. i was cleaning/doing water changes and i did what you did to remove him... and hes normally a blue/yellow fish, but he turned almost white in the cup! lol he returned to his normal color after i put him back in..

but when i did the same thing for haruhi, she didnt freak out at all. in fact, i heard a few splashes here and there while she was in the cup and acted really, uh, angry?.. talk about anger issues.. . -__-;;
i swear these guys have so much personality!

My betta sorta does that too but he gets dull when I put him in his storing bowl when I clean his tank. He goes back to normal after I put him in the water. I also play with him with his mirror to flare up his gills and he gets noticebly brighter ( his turqoiuse turns sky blue ) Your betta is fine : )
